Showers of Love...

Amidst the cool dusky night,

Streaked by the silence of blues and blacks...

Stood the cheerful pregnant clouds,

Ready to deliver the showers of life...

Waiting in glorious anticipation...

To admire the beauty she created...

Comes a bolt of lightening...

And she lets out a thunderous cry!

With pride she lets her child,

Descend to the lushy lands,

Bringing down cheer and joy,

To the embracing hands...

As soon as she is rested on earth,

She whimpers and looks up...

At her sparkling mother...

Crying uncontrollably with happy tears...

"I will be up here...

Watching you all day and night...

Sprinkling love and giving life...

And painting this colourful place into heaven..."

I promise to be back again,

Dear infant rain...

With more joy to shower...

He is the one...

With that naughty grin,

That will make one sing...

He will walk in with an air,

That screams - 'I don't care'!

A hundred things running in his mind...

Scaling from mischevious to intelligent kind,

Can take you by surprise by what he says,

And make you feel like a fool or a princess!

Sometimes confused... sometimes lost...

At other times its fun utmost!

Can be blunt to the core...

And tell you stories that are a real bore!

Loves to live in his style...

At times making your bile boil!

Cant be angry at him for long...

As soon as he starts singing to you one of his senseless and wordless songs!

When those deep dimples set on his face,

You want to smack… but you sit there and gaze...

At how he is able to calm you down,

With those silly jokes told by a clown!

Always on a spree,

To impress me…!

Cant ask for more out of this boy...

Careless, carefree, cute and coy!

Note : I must say... the last one year, It’s been a 'Pleasure' and 'Pressure' to have him around! :)

I tried... yet cried...

I frantically raced,

But it caught up with me,

With a wry smile on its face,

Enjoying the fear in me...

I tried to be brave,

Yet started crying...

The jaws of dark,

Stood menacing and bold,

Slicing me with its look,

So severe and cold...

I tried to be brave,

Yet started crying...

I battled from its grasp,

But it held me even tight,

Begged for it to let me go,

But it wouldnt budge from its stance...

I tried to be brave,

Yet started crying...

Like a prisoner i was held,

Almost tortured to death,

Cried for my life,

When there came a ray of light...

I was released and relieved!

And yet... I didnt stop crying...!

A story began...

Our first walk, I remember,

By the beach shore,

On an afternoon so fine,

Cocooned by the smell of warm saline...

Waves hit softly, breeze murmured,

The sea weeds danced to a song of love,

Lost in thoughts, solving our lives crosswords,

Totally oblivious of a sunny journey together.

Not a word we spoke,

Not a touch we felt,

Serenity engulfed both,

Making the moment just perfect...

I wish for us to be one...

During autumn, spring, winter or sun,

Writing our own story amidst storms or mist,

Dear, together lets make fresh footprints !

Psst psst... I am sorry.. I had promised to do this posting on Friday but err.. I was digging deep into my inbox for this image (sent by Ram.. blush blush.. almost a year and a half back!) that I had so preciously saved and couldn't find it and when I got it (of course Ram had to send it to me!! sigh!), I remembered I had left behind this poem at office (tishk! a knock on my head!)!! So here it is... Better late than never! God bless...
